Back in the day I was a huge TES lore nerd. And recently I’ve been researching some old videos I know from back in the day with my wife cause she has an interest in the lore.
Now we’re watching through the old shoddycaat lore season 1 playlist right now as I remember it being amazing basic information to get into specific events from and actually kinda know what’s happening.
Once we’re done there what’s a great way to get lore nowadays? And how does ESO play into the canon?
Since I haven’t played much of ESO I don’t even know what’s canon and what isn’t but the stories from it I know we’re already established lore when the game launched. Namely the couldharbour anchors and molag bal invading tamriel with them
UESP has a pretty decent app that has become a go-to read on commutes, etc
UESP is an incredible resource for everything Elder Scrolls. It’s probably the best unofficial videogame website of all tbh
As far as I know, the general consensus on r/teslore was that all of ESO is canon, and that it does a decent job of expanding on existing lore. Back when I was doing more theory-crafting, I remember it had some great lore about orc society!
UESP has an ESO section and lots of lore in general so it’s a good place if you want reading material.
There’s a good podcast called Elder Scrolls Lorecast that goes over the various regions, guilds, characters, etc in pretty good depth. They’ve been around for a while so there’s a lot of good content to listen to.
UESP and the Imperial Library for sure
